Teaching graphics using Ada

This paper describes several tools related to the Ada language that were developed to support the teaching of a computer graphics course. These tools include an updated and improved OpenGL Ada specification file, a VRML-to-code conversion tool, and an Ada-toC conversion tool. The rational for the development of these tools and some issues related to their implementation are discussed. Categories and Subject Descriptors D.3.3 [Programming Languages]: Language Contructs and Features – Data types and structures, procedures, functions, and subroutines.
